Dionysus Speak my name. says the Other Voice

Sue "What is it?"

Dionysus I have none.

Dionysus Failure.

Dionysus It's a taunt.

Sue The name isn't no sound at all?

Sue Or I can't accomplish that?

Dionysus You did accomplish it.

Sue People are still talking, though.

Dionysus I assumed it didn't extend far.

Sue Okay.

Dionysus But anyway, Rex can speak regardless.

Sue "Yes. I don't understand."

Dionysus Find a name.

Sue "Where can I look?"

Dionysus Where names come from.

Dionysus What is that?

Sue A name?

Dionysus Ahh.

Dionysus Failure.

Sue "Yes. I don't understand."

Dionysus No response this time.

Sue "Where do names come from?"

Dionysus No response again.

Sue "Who is your mother?"

Dionysus No response.

• Sue asks the Other Voice, "Where did you come from?"

Dionysus A world known as Ie, many ages ago.

Sue "Is it possible for me to go there?"

Dionysus It no longer exists.

Sue "What happened to it?"

Dionysus The Ruiner destroyed it.

Sue Do I know who that is?

Dionysus The God of Destruction here on Shem

Dionysus He replaced the old one at the end of First Shem

Sue "Our Father of Destruction? Did he come from there, too?"

Dionysus He came from elsewhere, but he has destroyed many worlds.

Dionysus He would destroy this one, too, but he is held in check... for now.

Sue "Did he bring anything with him? Any part of that world?"

Dionysus A pause, then, I do not know.

Sue "Are there other beings from that world here?"

Dionysus A longer pause, One.

Dionysus You sense powerful loneliness from the being. She is hard to find.

Sue "I will try, if there is any chance of her helping us."

Dionysus Perhaps. A long pause. Seek the Name Gatherer, then, but beware her, lest she take your identity as well. She hides them so well.

Sue "Is she known on this world by any other name?"

Dionysus I do not know.
